| # Pybind11 information |
| |
| Pybind11 allows for Python embedding within C++ code (and creating C++ bindings for Python). NexRes relies on Pybind11 to call Python code from C++. |
| |
| ## Requirements |
| |
| This code was tested on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. Python 3.10.8 was installed using brew in the location /home/ubuntu/.linuxbrew/bin/python3. Using brew helps simplify the linking process during compilation. |
| This location is referenced in [nexres/.bazelrc](https://github.com/msadoghi/nexres/tree/master/.bazelrc) |
| |
| build --action_env=PYTHON_BIN_PATH="/home/ubuntu/.linuxbrew/bin/python3" |
| |
| Make sure you have the python libraries installed. These are used when the binary is run. |
| |
| sudo apt-get install python3.10-dev |
| |
| ## client.cpp |
| |
| Calls example Python code. Provides an example of reading in the file print_sample.py into a string and executing the string as Python code. |
| Also provides an example of importing a Python module into C++ and calling one of its functions. |
| |
| Make sure to execute the code from within this directory as when importing the "validator_example" module the code searches the same directory. |
